Does it feel April-y where you live? Spring often takes its own sweet time in Michigan! But I have some really pretty springlike flowers for you - thanks to my friend, TK who sent me the most wonderful birthday gift last November! Don't you think for a minute that I didn't play with it immediately - but I really wanted to feature these Altenew: Flutter and Bloom florals here for The Flower Challenge #101:
I pulled some lovely purple Copics for today's florals - but watch
out for the water-colored and stenciled versions later this year!
I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and
popped them up on top of a gorgeous, embossed panel I found in my stash.
Isn't it a perfect match? I'm sure the wonderful person who
sent it to me carefully wrote its name on the BACK before
I stuck it on my card.
We are looking forward to a gallery FULL of gorgeous Spring-colored flowers - will you be playing along? Come see all the lovely colors of Spring from my teammates!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous coloring on your lovely spring flowers. Love the embossed background too.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, soooo pretty! What a lovely gift! The flowers look all the more amazing displayed on the fabulous embossed background. Wow!
ReplyDeleteYay! It'sa win if you're still using them, and making beautiful things too. Can't wait to see.more versions, Michele, especially with such a perfect matching background
ReplyDeleteFabulous as usual! Who is the HB from?
ReplyDeleteAs we are heading into Autumn... I would love it to be Spring, especially if I get to see these beautiful blooms!
ReplyDeleteOoohhh, this is pretty!! Yes, that EF was meant to be used with those wonderful blooms!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely looks like Spring to me Michele...your card is CAS and absolutely gorgeous!! The purple blooms are so pretty and beautifully colored and your embossed background was the perfect find to go along with your flowers! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! And just gorgeous over the embossing folder. You can't get more beautiful than a CAS card like this one. It's not feeling very April-y here. It's in the 50's for one day and then we have more snow coming this week. Come on spring, I know you're there!!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful card. It's been snowy and gray here. Next week will be lovely and more spring like.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spring flowers Michele. They look amazing over the lovely embossed background. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what's more stunning...the flowers or the beautifully embossed background!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. Purpli is my favorite (Spring) color...
ReplyDeleteThe embossed background is a show stopper! It nicely sets off the cluster of lavender blooms and now I'm wondering if I have "Easter colors" in my inventory.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job coloring those blooms, Michele, and they were a perfect match for the embossed background.
ReplyDeleteMichele, you colored those pretty flowers so beautifully and I can't believe how well the embossing goes with them - I really thought they were part of the same set! Gorgeous card!
